View MobileFirst project templates

We can open a MobileFirst project template to view its contents using a file compression tool.

The MobileFirst project template contains folders taken from the project.on which it is based, as well as a mandatory TEMPLATE-DATA folder.

Do not modify the contents of the TEMPLATE-DATA folder.

The TEMPLATE-DATA folder contains the following files:

• The thumbnail image file that was selected when the project.template was created.

• A template properties file named template.properties, which contains the metadata information specified when the project.template was created.

The following contents are present in the template.properties file:

• Template title

• IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation version used to create the template

• Template ID

• Template author

• Template description

• Template thumbnail

• IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation version number

The following example shows the contents of a typical template.properties file:

title-Simple RSS Reader
wl_version=6.1.0.
id=RSS-09e1ac62-5c34-432e-8597-c6349eade74c
author=IBM
description=Displays entries from an RSS feed (www.example.com). The user can click an entry to read the contents without leaving the app.
